Tim Miller bragged that he was "kind enough to be fortunate enough last week to receive a pair of Rockies tickets last week" . . . one was in Section 149 and the other was in Section 147. He wanted to thank us for that, AND he wanted to speak with whoever has a matching set of tickets. Call him!.
Good things were said about Nathan's Turning Point golf tournament that (finally!) happened last week. Nathan says to sign up for his bike tournament, too.

John Clagett told us, in a delayed brag, how his wife completed an MS walk last weekend, walking 50 miles in 3 days. WOW! |
Our beer czar, John Clagett, recently returned from an extended stay in deepest, darkest, Africa, told us to "get off our asses and sign up" for beer sales . . . I think he's beginning to feel th' pressure.
Due to circumstances beyond control, the fund-raising golf tournament for CASA that Bradford Albert has been ramrodding has been cancelled, perhaps to be rescheduled in the Spring.
The Next Board meeting will be MONDAY, September 10th. Please let Dave know if you can (or cannot) make the meeting, if you're a Bored Member.
Dick Acott presented a coupon to us from his son-in-law, Steve Fowler. Steve owns Maya Cove Restaurant, and will "donate back to your organization 10% of the total food and drink purchased by everyone associated with your organization." 2100 W. Drake Road, Unit 1 (In their one (and only) health inspection, they received an "excellent" rating from Larimer County Health Inspectors in March, 2007.)
Dick also told us how his granddaughter, Madison, started (and finished) a game pitching for Poudre H.S., beating Kennedy big time.

Last week, Brad Florin told us how he started a business in 1992, built in into three different companies over a period of years, developing and evolving to fit the times. As we all know, he sold his latest development, Acartus, a few years ago for a gazillion dollars. |
John K told us that
"The Club had a great turn-out for working beer sales at the Cal game. Jim Manning's booth sold $7,153.50 of beer and collected tips of $411.86. Bill Green's booth sold $5,651.50 of beer and had tip collections of $391.04 - way to go Don Shannon.
The Club made $2,102.90. The next game is against San Diego State on October 6th. So, the Club has the potential to earn almost $12,000 over the six-game season."
Don Shannon, speaking of wives, he said, bragged on HIS wife. He and Diane took a two week tour to Rome, Athens, Egypt, Turkey, Italy, and points in-between. He said it was "a brutal trip, with some temperatures over 115 degrees, but Diane, unlike some, held up well".

COWBOYS
Three strangers strike up a conversation in the airport passenger lounge in Bozeman , Montana, while awaiting their respective flights.
One is an American Indian passing through from Lame Deer. Another is a Cowboy on his way to Billings for a livestock show & the third passenger is a fundamentalist Arab student, newly arrived at Montana State University from the Middle East .
Their discussion drifts to their diverse cultures. Soon, the two Westerners learn that the Arab is a devout, radical Muslim and the conversation falls into an uneasy lull.
The cowboy leans back in his chair, crosses his boots on a magazine table and tips his big sweat-stained hat forward over his face.
The wind outside is blowing tumbleweeds around, and the old windsock is flapping; but still no plane comes.
Finally, the American Indian clears his throat and softly he speaks, "At one time here, my people were many, but sadly, now we are few."
The Muslim student raises an eyebrow and leans forward, "Once my people were few," he sneers, "and now we are many. Why do you suppose that is?"
The Montana cowboy shifts his toothpick to one side of his mouth and from the darkness beneath his Stetson says in a smooth drawl . . .
" That's 'cause we ain't played Cowboys and Muslims yet, but I do believe it's a-comin'

Stroke |
STROKE IDENTIFICATION:
"During a BBQ, a friend stumbled and took a little fall - she
assured everyone that she was fine (they offered to call paramedics) and just tripped over a brick because of her new shoes. They got her cleaned up and got her a new plate of food - while she appeared a bit shaken up,
Ingrid went about enjoying herself the rest of the evening. Ingrid's
husband called later telling everyone that his wife had been taken to
the hospital - (at 6:00 PM, Ingrid passed away.) She had suffered a
stroke at the BBQ. Had they known how to identify the signs of a stroke, perhaps Ingrid would be with us today. Some don't die. They end up in a helpless, hopeless condition instead."

HUH?
A blonde woman was speeding down the road in her little red sports car and was pulled over by a woman police officer who was also a blonde.
The blonde cop asked to see the blonde driver's license. She dug through her purse and was getting progressively more agitated.
"What does it look like?" she finally asked.
The policewoman replied, It's square and it has your picture on it."
The driver finally found a square mirror in her purse, looked at it and handed it to the policewoman. "Here it is," she said.
The blonde officer looked at the mirror, then handed it back saying, " Okay, you can go. I didn't realize you were a cop."

"Stupid" investors, rejoice!
Ben Stein, Economist, writer, lawyer, and actor
No one is too stupid to make money in the stock market.
But there are many who are too smart to make money.
To make money, at least in the postwar world, all you have to do is buy the broad indexes domestically--both in the emerging world and in the developed world--and, to throw in a little certainty about your old age, maybe buy some annuities.
To lose money, pretend you're really, really clever, and that by reading financial journalism and watching CNBC, you can outguess the market day by day. Along with that, you must have absolutely no sense of proportion about money and the world at large.
